After a period of relative quiescence, optimization of the design of high performance machine tools has become the subject of considerable recent research activity. Advances in the general areas of optimization theory and signal processing have enabled effective solutions to problems regarded as intractable by earlier analysts. There is, however, a danger that valuable early research may be discounted or overlooked when there is a substantial period of dormancy in a discipline. The survey links early work with current activity in the optimization of machine tool spindle bearing systems.

As a key component of the machine tool spindle, bearing has critical influences on the spindle thermal error. In particular, the installation errors of bearing have considerable effects upon the spindle thermal error by altering the bearings’ internal contact angles, contact loads, and friction torques for different ball positions, but have yet to be fully elucidated. In this article, the influence of installation errors on the resulting spindle thermal error was evaluated using both empirical methods and simulation method, with the ultimate aim of reducing installation error. Deviations within the bearing support were used to simulate bearing parallel misalignment; bearing parallel misalignment running model was built, and an analysis and comparison of various conditions were used to determine the influence, showing that the parallel misalignment has significant influence on the spindle Z direction thermal error.

Swivel spindle head is a key component used in five-axis machine tool of high performance and is of great importance in application and design. Nowadays, more and more components are manufactured by high performance multi-axis CNC machine tools, such as components of spaceflight, renewable energy and automobile, etc. Therefore, high performance machine tools of multiple axes are more and more urgently demanded, while Swivel spindle head is one of the most important components for a multi-axis machine tool. Hence, Swivel spindle head is one of the key to developers multi-axis machine tool . The study explores the highly responsive direct-driving motor able to drive the spindle head to rotate with multi-driving rotary technology. The dual-driving motor rotates via multi-driving units, generates torsion that magnifies and eliminates its clearance, and then drives the spindle head to rotate. Results of the test show that the completed machine tool can meet the standards of dual axis rotary head with high preformation in, no matter, speed, distance, positional accuracy, repeated accuracy or maximum torque, etc.

Abstract Achieving high performance of machining production systems requires the use of multi-axis machine tools. In order to maximize the performance of multi-axis machine tools, micro process planning for creating machining data is important. Many researches on micro process planning mainly focused on 3-axis machining. As promising approaches among them, a micro process planning system was proposed that reuses actual machining cases and analyzes case data to derive the necessary rules. However, it is not always effective for multi-axis machining, because enough case data are not collected for micro process planning of a specific multi-axis machine tool. In this study, a digital twin of multi-axis machine tool in cyberspace is proposed to collect real and virtual machining case data for micro process planning.
